OP.01RFQ6As an AbilityOne agency with two BOAs, should we respond to the relevant solicitations or does this language eliminate the need for us
to respond?Yes, AbilityOne vendors may bid non-Procurement List items. VHA will not consider items currently awarded on the AbilityOne Procurement List. VHA is in collaboration with the AbilityOne Commission, VA Office of General Counsel and the VA Office of Small & Disadvantaged Business Utilization to analyze the market to develop a strategy to apply rule of two. AbilityOne vendors are welcome to propose items not currently on the Procurement List that are believed to be within scope of any category.
OP.02Quote SheetThe item listed (Line 25) Abbott Medical Optics, OPOR4520L Laminar Flow Phaco Tip 45 DEG INFSLV 20G is not for Optometry. It is for OR
surgery. How can we get this removed and placed on the OR list when it comes out?Clinical Integrated Product Teams (IPT) will review and consider.
